I booted the 7.0 release installer cdrom (disk 1). I chose the upgrade option. During the upgrade process it asks me to select which partitions to mount by way of the disklabel editor. When in the editor it does not show me all of the partitions for my disk. The full disk label is: # /dev/ad4s1: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 1048576 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 8 b: 7799776 1048576 swap c: 625137282 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit d: 5996544 8848352 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28528 e: 1048576 14844896 4.2BSD 2048 16384 8 f: 609243810 15893472 4.2BSD 2048 16384 28528 but in the interactive disklabel editor, the f slice doesn't show up. If I mount /, /var and /tmp (from a,d and e) it runs a holographic shell on vty4. In this shell I am able to manually mount /usr from f. So it's not a matter of disk label incompatibilities between 6.2 and 7.0. As a result I aborted the install process and am waiting for a resolution before upgrading. >How-To-Repeat: Duplicate my partition table, boot the amd 7.0 release disk 1, select upgrade, select packages. The installer will place you in the disk label editor. >Fix: None. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
